The Nail Olympics

The sixth annual Nail Olympics was held in Britain last week. Check out the article from the Daily Mail.

Insane!

Thanks Mahban.

NO. Absolutamente no!

There cannot be something called San Francisco by the Bay, in Pickering. That is totally breaking the rules. Does San Francisco know about this?

This morning in the Star there was a piece about the controversial new show, by artist Jonathan Hobin. The show is on in Ottawa, at the Dale Smith Gallery. Click here to see the Star piece. and here for Gallery information. Looks amazing

This is the start of something big!

Revlon

A humble wish list

In no particular order:

Body Lotion from Origins
or
Ginger Body Scrub also from Origins

hugs

a gift certificate to lululemon
or
Victoria's Secret

nail polish

gift certificate to Mountain Equipment Co-op

cute socks - preferably fall themed

puzzle - also preferably fall themed

fiction - classic or contemporary (lenders would be lovely)

Help buying blouses - I am really bad with tops. And I have none. None that are sexy, not that are casual, none that go with anything.

A glass of nice wine at sunset

A cottage- preferably in the Kawartha's so The Connor Cottage will be nearby.

a card

kisses

Cottage television

Accompanied by the sounds of loons calling. True Cotty

... i f you want me

i drew a map of Canada, Oh Canada...

Chloe is back

If you haven't seen these before click here. Chloé is amazing

My New Obsession...

for a whole host of reasons. But I imagine feeling uncomfortably sweaty could keep you from connecting with people in a meaningful way. Hell, maybe even from connecting with people in superficial ways too. Without Degree Clinical Protection this girl might have ended up without any social grace, alone and muttering to her cat.

Cottage 2.0

weekender

let's get on the road

Dinner break. Shockingly this was my first time at the Swiss Pidg

I am not sure the slogan is accurate. It is more like, Always so mediocre, for quite a bit, actually.

our poor waitress.

made it up to the cottage in time for a heated game of cranium. Max and I scored a perfect mindmeld.
The Topic is: Honeymoon

paintball practice

Thomas giving Lo some pointers

interesting shooting stance

i'm a pro of course.

ready, aim, fire.

Ceasers and reading.

nice one

lunch

homemade pies for dessert!

Sunny Sunday

Max and Em relaxing

"Ok Lauren, are you ready for our island swim?"
"Over my dead body Lize. Love you though"

"O yea, we'll see about that."

"I said NOOOOO."

"Fine I will go alone."

"You're gonna miss out though."

"I'm cool with it."

You know what'll cure that hangover Jemma?

Washing your face, obviously.

Let's all go to the wine pump

In an effort to cut down on packaging, and cost, the French have started installing wine pumps at grocery stores. Amazing. Do you think I can get one for my place?

Shitney is that you?

Some how this is better than Shitney. There is nothing sexy about this. She's a HOT MESS

Wear the Pants

Saw the new Dockers ad while watching the Saints and Minnesota game. The newest instalment of the wear the pants campaign isn't available online yet. But, it definitely got my attention. So I went in search of it and found this instead. Most will recognize it from the Super Bowl. But it is new to me, you'll have to forgive me because we don't get the commercials during the Super Bowl up here in Canada. And I was in Asia. I do love wear the pant. Great tag line. Keep your eyes out for the new one, and send it to me if you find it online.

Due South - What a great intro.

I never really appreciated it before, but the theme from Due South is amazing. It's a well played ad for Canadian hospitality. Very, "hi, look at our property. And tall men with dogs."

New - Keith's Hold True

I sometimes think that beer ads are harder than one might expect. They have become so formulaic that ninety percent of them are exactly the same, you know gratuitous boobs shots. Not very original. But I am into this one.
